    Getting no pump in chest, need advice

    I'm doing a push/pull routine so on Mon and Thur I do Chest/Shoulders/Tris. On Monday I'm doing Bench, Mil. Press, Close Grip Bench. Thur I do Incline DB Press, DB Shoulder Press, Skull Crushers.

    I get no pump at all in my chest and my chest is never soar the day after. I get a great pump in my Shoulders and Tris and they are usually soar the next day. Do I need more volume for my chest? I've checked my form on the Bench and DB press after watching a bunch of videos posted on here and I don't think that's my problem.

    i've had a similar problem, and heres how i fixed it.

    1. drop the weight a little, and focus on using only chest, basically if you stand and mimick the bench press, but use a slow speed, and force it into the chest you'll get an idea of how you should be doing presses.

    2. the other way i've found s to do pre-exhaust supersets

    good luck bro

    Many people have some difficulty developing their chest muscles because their triceps and shoulders take control. Perform your BB and DB presses at a low incline (25 degrees). It may help to target the chest more. You can also pre-fatigue your chest muscles with flyes or DB pullovers prior to the presses. I highly suggest DB pullovers. It's an excellent stretching exercise that you can go fairly heavy with. Make your chest routines a priority. Work them first in rotation when your energy levels are the highest. It takes time to develop the chest because it's a fairly large area. Be patient and keep hammering.
